Famous quotes containing the words singing and/or shrouds:

“I have felt darkness lead me by the hand
Over the hill to greet the singing dawn....”

“Bodies of holy men and women exude
Miraculous oil, odour of violet.
But under heavy loads of trampled clay
Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.”
